Please come sit with me for a moment. Imagine you are in a comfortable chair in the middle of a six-sided room and notice the simple invitation: stay here, breathe, and turn your attention to whatever comes through the windows of seeing, hearing, touch, smell, and mind.

No judgments, no chasing thoughts — just gentle reminders to return to the one seat and be here now. It’s small, but it changes everything.

Hey — take a breath. This practice flips the mind’s old critical tapes by inserting one new, gentle line: “I love you” with your name at the end. Say it to your newborn self, your present body, or in a hard memory — no reasons needed.

It’s small, immediate, and surprisingly powerful. Whisper your name, let the kindness land, and carry that warmth with you through the day.

"I love you " to your present self just as you are. Inhabit a challending memory or situation and say "I love you" No reasons needed.

This is the last of six guided meditations, which will provide you with a firm foundation to begin and deepen your mindfulness, insight, meditation practice.

This session provides guidance in how to work with difficult emotions. We tend to delight in pleasant emotions and struggle to get rid of the unpleasant ones. Mindfulness will allow you to meet emotions of all kinds as guides and teachers. When challenging emotions are present we are guided to turn toward them with love and compassion: to embrace rather than hate them. As we allow ourselves to become intimate with them they reveal their true impermanent and impersonal nature. we learn to rest with our hearts open in the middle of all of the challenges of life.
